<p>Full lesson as an introduction to percentages. What is a percentage. What does 10% and 1% look like. How can we find these amounts. Final task is finding 20% of an amount allowing learners to get there their own way with extension of finding 5%.<br /> Includes starter, answers and plenary task.<br /> Aimed at year 6/7, grade 2/3</p>

<p>A power point of 30 inspirational Brits (by no means exhaustive!!!) which could be used on a loop or for a short assembly piece,<br /> All of the ones chosen have links to literacy, numeracy or both.<br /> I have tried to pick out an interesting fact or 2 about each one.</p>

<p>A complete lesson on how to easily create a times table grid from scratch to help those learners who struggle to remember their tables. Broken down into very easy steps and then how to use the grid to answer questions.<br /> Includes starter, some questions within the lesson, some stretch for more able learners and then a plenary task.<br /> Aimed at low ability learners of any age.</p>

<p>At least 1 lessons worth (probably more like 3 depending on your group) of some of the topics at grade 4 level foundation maths. Topics covered area and perimeter of circles, basic angle questions, solving basic equations, simple linear sequences, expanding brackets, index laws, percentage decreases, fractions, ratios, estimating. Lots of differentiated questions also included and sample questions from previous exam papers. By no means exhaustive!!</p>

<p>An introduction to fractions using lots of visual comparisons to help learners understand the basics of fractions. Structured to help make the links about using times tables to find equivalent fractions, and then goes on to simplifying fractions too. Also includes comparing fractions. Designed for any age level where basic understanding of the concept of fractions is not there.</p>

A lesson I used with a low ability year 8 group. Generates quite a lot of discussion and introduces writing fractional probability. The jelly baby slide involves you buying jelly babies for your group and letting them choose one without looking!Simple worksheet too.

Whole lesson including activity on splitting up compound shapes into their components. The baseball activity can have the scaffolding removed for more able kids. I put the kids into pairs, stuck the task on A3 onto the wall and let them get on with it....then you can see what is going on with all the groups.

<p>A lesson used with year 7 as an introduction to solving simple equations.<br /> Whole lesson including creative plenary task to check understanding. Elements of the lesson can easily be done on individual white boards.</p>

<p>Complete lesson used for a year 7 catch up group.<br /> No starter task but often asked them to write out certain times tables.<br /> Complete lesson including self assessment, differentiated questions and individual white board tasks.</p>

<p>A very long lesson! Probably enough for 2 or 3 lessons depending on the ability of the group. An introduction to algebra using perimeters and area.<br /> Lots of white board tasks, differentiated questions, self assessment and final plenary task.<br /> Grades 3 and 4</p>
